About Bike Lanes...

[Bron]

I'm not real familiar with bike lanes - so I'm wondering - if there is a bike lane on one side of the street only - is that for use by cyclists going in both directions or only in the direction of traffic?

Here in neighbouring Germany you cycle in the direction of the traffic unless there is two-way arrow sign under the blue bike-lane sign (bother, can't find a picture). As far as I know, this is the same for all of West Europe. Last week the police here were stopping people who were cycling the wrong way and fining them.
